>still have yet to win the lottery or recieve a huge inheritance or become famous
>about to turn 25
>all of the best years to have all of that are now gone forever

What's even the point now? I'm serious. Even if I end up with any of that, it will be when I'm older when i'm uglier, not as sharp, less energy etc... It's literally pointless. The rest of my life is relegated to just going to college and being some white-collar nobody at best. I don't want to do that. I wanted to be someone.

How’s about you figure out something to work at and get started? Uh oh you didn’t get lucky and receive a free ride through life. Tough shit. Get over it and do something with the time you have left.

Hit the gym and/or learn a martial art. You will look better over time, have a sharper mind, and have more energy.
I'm also assuming you're a man. Plenty of girls date and prefer older guys.

Also, from my own experience, fuck individuality. There's nothing like being the sole person who can make a difference as part of a team, and measurably improving others' lives (where no one else could've achieved the same result).
Look into interesting fields like computer science, medicine, engineering, hell, even English literature if you can network and get into government.

Even if you get that white collar job in the end, you can spend so much time on engaging pursuits in your free time like reading, writing, volunteering, and art.

Then you'll wake up someday and think, "Huh, I made a difference. My life meant something to others."

There's no evidence of OP's gender. Even if a woman, you can be a brilliant academic or professional.

I'm a man, but fuck. I'm so tired of the toxicity of posters here. I'm so tired of it in real life, and I just want to discuss books instead of see others cut people down.
I'm just going to close the tab and find moral redemption on a porn site or something. Fuck.

A friend of mine won a car once in a raffle, a brand new Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe. He sold the car for 60 grand, put down payments on a bunch of cheap single family houses (this was in the aftermath of the 08 market crash when they were cheap), fixed 'em up,, rented them out. Couple years later he cashed out as a multi-millionaire. Guy was 24 at the time. Ended up dropping out of grad school to "travel the world" (i.e sex tourism).

He got into a really bad car accident about two years ago. He lived but suffered a traumatic brain injury that makes it difficult for him to learn new things (kind of like that movie Memento, but not as extreme) he also suffers from PTSD from the crash and developed a pill addiction from the painkillers he had to take. The guy still has millions in the bank but gets panic attacks if he tries to drive anything bigger than lawnmower. He can't sleep, he can't enjoy food (because of the pills), and he can't work any job more complicated than making french fries. Unfortunately, his money can't fix any of his problems (and in the case of the pills, is sustaining them). I've been thinking about my friend a lot since the quarantine and trying to figure out which of things I really need to be happy, and how much money they actually cost. So far, most of the stuff doesn't require any money at all.

It's not about defending yourself, as the best response is always to run.
It's about getting physically healthy, going out and making friends with people, and building confidence over time.

If you really want to learn trigonometry, read Simmons' Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell and/or Gelfand's Trigonometry.
It's natural to forget mathematical foundations over time, and doesn't speak to your intelligence.

Give yourself a goal, no matter how arbitrary, and go for it. Try to volunteer for an organization after COVID-19 blows over, or even participate in volunteering with it. Try and talk to real people.
Start with image attached. Also read Scott Adams's How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big.

you're just making excuses as to why you can't improve yourself and as to why it's too late to do anything. Instead of looking towards the future and looking towards the past you should live in the present. Try to find meaning in what you can do right now. I recommend reading The Myth of Sisyphus or watching/reading stuff by Alan Watts to try and escape the prison you've put yourself in.

What do you do when you feel that you don't possess the intellect to solve any hard problems people care about(physics, math, engineering) or create any great art, and you're also not able to coast on appearance because you're not tall and handsome, but you don't want to give in and become an accountant or a nurse or something equally as miserable and worthless?

Well seeing as you're posting your entitled and egocentric shit in /lit/ like it's your fucking blog, instead of say, facebook or some shit, ask yourself this: Why don't you write something of value? Get off your proverbial ass and make something good, maybe you'll get 'famous' by earning it.
